Equivalent Birational Embeddings III: cones

Algebraic Geometry 2014-07-31 v1

Abstract

Two divisors in Pn\mathbb P^n are said to be Cremona equivalent if there is a Cremona modification sending one to the other. In this paper I study irreducible cones in Pn\mathbb P^n and prove that two cones are Cremona equivalent if their general hyperplane sections are birational. In particular I produce examples of cones in P3\mathbb P^3 Cremona equivalent to a plane whose plane section is not Cremona equivalent to a line in P2\mathbb P^2.
